Ambitious lyrics

Ambitious
by Jeff Beck

Here is a rich boy, a bit of a brat,
To him life`s just a fling.
Phi Beta Kappa and first in his class,
He`s treated just like a king.
And he says, `I`m not sure what it is I must have
so I guess I`ll just take everything`.

He`s just ambitious,
He`s not a bad man,
He`s just ambitious.
He`s not a bad man,
Just ambitious.
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious.

Here is a young girl, born down and out,
Locked up in jail when she was ten.
Now in the courtroom, she`s got a bit of doubt,
Sits on the judge side of the bench.

She`s just ambitious,
She`s not a bad girl,
She`s just ambitious.
She`s not a bad girl,
Just ambitious.
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious.

Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight,
And his cool streak gets him by.
All these four-letter words in his mind,
Here is a man who`ll survive.

He`s just ambitious,
He`s just a wild man,
He`s just ambitious.
He`s just a wild man,
Just ambitious.
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious.

Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight,
Just ambitious.
Always a four-letter word in his mind,
Just ambitious.

Don`t you know, I`m just ambitious,
I`m not a bad man, just ambitious.
I`m not a bad man, just ambitious.
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious.
I`m not a bad man, just ambitious.
I`m not a bad man, just ambitious.
I`m not a bad man, just ambitious.
